Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Borah). Everything went their way against Boise on Thursday as they made off with a 14-4 victory.
Borah let Reese Naylor and Kayla Campbell run wild. Naylor went 3-for-4 with one home run, three runs, and four RBI, while Campbell went a perfect 4-for-4 with one home run, three runs, and three RBI. That home run marked the first that Naylor launched this season. Maggie McMullen was another key player, going 1-for-4 with one home run and two runs.
Borah always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .568. They are 2-1 when they post an OBP of .513 or better.
Borah pushed their record up to 3-6 with the win, which was their third straight at home. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.3 runs on average over those games. As for Timberline, their win bumped their record up to 9-1.
Timberline might still be hurting after the 9-2 defeat they got from Borah in their previous matchup back in May of 2024. Will the Wolves have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more softball content.
